which is better the n95 or w960i?
Posted by Alexandra
it depends on what you need it for.
Posted by jakontil
if you need a touch screen, u'd go for w960
Posted by Alexandra
if you need a camera, go for N95. Although it is 3.2 megapixel, it is really poor. Also go for N95 if you want navigation like a dumb phone (S60 is easier to use IMO).
If you want build quality, good looks, UIQ, a touch screen, and of course Walkman, go for the W960.

for an over all phone which will you guys prefer?

N95. Is your current phone a java phone?

Hands down the N95-8GB is better Overall. I Decided im going for it. W960 seems great.but its pretty old internaly, nothing realy new,except for Walkman3.0 and 128mb ram

N95 8G is in a league of its own and W960 cant compare to it.
N95 has newer version of symbian 9.3 compare to 9.1 of W960
N95 has 2.8'' screen with 16m colors compared to 2.6'' 256K of W960
N95 has GPS and W960 doesnt
N95 has Wifi b and g where as W960 has outdated WiFi b
N95 has better camera and better video recording
N95 has HSDPA and EDGE and W960 doesnt, quite pathetic really!
N95 has 3.5mm jack
N95 has TV Out

yup yup. just go for N95, besides it's the best going to be

if you go for the n95 dont get it on the 18 month contract as i doubt it will last past 12 months before it falls apart! The build quality is shocking.
a shame because its the thing that really lets it down in my opinion. I had mine then got rid of it after 3 months, poor use of materials.
If they sorted this out it would be the ultimate phone.

built quality was an issue on the normal version. I doubt the 8Gig version has the same issue.

i love both of them and im gonna buy both of them as soon as i can
Posted by jakontil
most of us know how the normal N95 was built on the quality, let's hope they won't use the same materials and quality for the 8GB version

N95 8GIG is better no doubt,but i would still opt for a w960i...
Posted by sesukaku
it would be nicer to have a touchscreen.. and i think W960 is more advance in terms of music feature than N95

That, my friend, is correct.

So, SE is actually bringing out new phones which are already outdated? Why buy a new model then, of you can buy an older one for less money?
Posted by myndlyz
wow that's an interesting question, se w960i or n95 8g, well i currently have a w950i and i am definetly upgrading to a w960i. however, the n95 8g looks stunning also. spoilt for choice we are.

Yes, this is now mandatory trading for Sony Ericsson!

I'd like to know where you got the samples of the photos from both the N85 and W960. You can't judge those types of things without actually looking at the photos yourself.
For example, I prefer the photos from the K800 than the N95, because the N95 smudges details, increases saturation, and distorts colours. So if the W960 has a similar or the same camera as the K800, and if the N95 8GB has the same camera as the N95, then I'd say the W960 has the better camera.

i think he got it from the people who said the w960 cam is the same as the one used in p1. And we know how bad the p1 cam is.
Posted by JuanPablo
I'd choose W960 anyday
Posted by ttsng
I will buy N95. With W960, I even cannot pick the headset I like.
and I really get bored by Uiq3 after 8 month of P990i.

Well, it's mainly the lack of 3rd party software being an issue with UIQ3 as far as I'm concerned. Then again, owning an N73 before it I didn;t use all that much more compared with what I use on my P1i but still, choices and options are always nice.
Tough choice between these two though. Love the touchscreen mainly on the W960. The N95 has the better cam and faster cpu. In this case I think I'd go for the N95 (but now I have the P1i which has a proper keyboard and touchscreen... which just tops the N95 for me right now).
Posted by gardar
I would personally go for the W960 for one simple reason, it has touchscreen... I have been using touchscreen phones for about three years now and I cannot go back to a non-touchscreen phone....
Posted by frank2345babies
another big thing which shoouldbe considered is nokias OVI services which are going to be available in november including a music download ssrvice and nokias new n-gage platform(this is like xbox live for mobiles). as SE has nothing which can compare with this at the min
Posted by jakontil
is p1i cam bad?
i think i cant get away from touchscreen
Posted by kradcliffe
The P1i camera is really pathetic IMO - Exposure is terrible at the best of times and there is a green tinge on the right hand side of all photos on many of the phones.
Also remember that UIQ3 phones have abysmally low volume output on headset and bluetooth. That is why I returned my P1i (and P990i) as it is about half the volume of my P910i if even that. P990 and W950 all have the same low volume issue so we can assume W960 will be no different.
If you can live without a touchscreen then the N95 wins hands down!

Man, you really change a lot all the time. I remember when you just got the P1 and it was a REALLY god phone for you, and know you just trash it down all the way. Hmm, dont know if I can trust you anymore, you change like the wind. And one more thing, there is allways something better, thats life. The cam is working really god on my phone, no problem at all. But know is the time for me to try out a WM phone, the TyTN II. Going to get it tomorrow

It was good until I started using the camera and noticed the green tint and terrible photos. Once it was getting regular use I had to reboot several times a day due to lock-ups and bugs.
It's only when you start using these devices in real terms that all the problems come to the surface.

if you actually bothered to do some research rather then speculating and read peterkay's review you would notice that the volume on the w960i is VERY loud
Posted by thami
the volume on my p1i is so bad. i wish i could take it back. the n95 is clearly more value for money.
Posted by driftmania
N95 8GB for sure. It has bigger screen, better camera/camcorder, and it's the latest Symbian which has lots of applications for it. It's a multimedia monster.

dude if uve had a sony before i would strongly recommend not to go for the nokia phones.i bought wanted to upgrade from w810 to w960 but due to the negative reviews of w960 i went for n95.but it SUCKS and it SUCKS BIG TIME.
lets count the things i didnt like:
the interface SUCKS
the music player Sucks
the sound quality SUCKS
the choice of materials SUCKS
the keypad SUCKS
the slider mechanism SUCKS
the battery life SUCKS
oh and the camera is jst pathetic so in other words it SUCKS
the only decent thing about it is the video quality,its quite good but the still images....oh dont ask. my w810 captured 100 times better shots than this 5 Mpix
i think that n95 8gb wont be much different...so in my opinion go for the w960 which ill be going for in a week or so.
Posted by mobman
i think i'd choose the n95 over the w960 but the p1i over the n95.
but that is because of the type of phone i want. I would however like to challenge the view that the cam on the p1 is pathetic - i find it very good and the green tint has been fixed with a fw update (for me anyway). not in the n95's class but i have a camera for "proper" photos...

Get the N95-8GB, believe me. I've used both
W960 is an excellent phone, but it is its slugginess that puts me down

w960
Posted by angelinalove
For overall performance n95 is better.
Posted by Tsepz_GP
Punkid sounds to me like you either dont know what i the world you're doing with that N95, or you have a bad unit.
The N95 is a fantastic device, far better than a W960, ive used both and i get to use my mate's N95-8gb VERY often and its excellent. Camera takes amazing pics, UI is fast and easy to use, the keypad is comfortable and havent had any miss types on it, the Music Player is good even allows you to fully edit song details and album art without using a PC. The battery lasts around 2days with average use. On top of all that it has HSDPA, a great built-in Web browser, TV-Out very usefull and the loads of games and apps you get for it. Im sorry but going from a N95-8GB to a W960 is a complete downgrade, even going from my N81 to a W960 would feel like a complete downgrade.
Posted by Punkid
it sucks and i hate it
Posted by Punkid
going from w810 to n95 felt a downgrade :| oh and i kno wht im doing with the phone and ive had it changed once.but the camera jst is that way.nd i compared with a friend his cam is also like this...oh also the tv out sucks all u can see it box box box box box ( atleast on an lcd tv)
